Oh great. It appears I've been writing a post and rather than post it I switchedthe tab…. and obviously since that was yesterday and I restarted the pc twice, the post is gone cause I NEVER POSTED IT!

…and now I don't remember what the rant was all about, great.

Ugh… lately I've been having nightmares. Often after I fall asleep after reading something interesting. Not sure what's causing them, but they give me headaches when I wake up. O_O

@Aurora Borealis: for some reason, that strikes me as one of the most hilarious rant posts Ever

@same: nice to see you around. Sorry to read about another episode of jackasses wielding grades — why hasn't there been a comic yet about the evil professor who travels through time and cultures, thwarting the pathways of the talented?

So babysitting my nephews (ages 3 and 1) was less than 48 hours this time. My sister delivered a girl at 6:40 this morning, making the grandkid count for my parents: 5 grandsons and now 2 granddaughters. but who's counting?


*we all are; we're a counting type of family*

I'm also wondering when this change over is going to be. Any word on that?

New Site Launch Date
Last week we thought we could finish everything, (bug fixes and custom layout controls), and be ready to launch. We looked at all that still needed to be done, and all of the issues you all kept bringing up and quickly realized that was not gonna happen. Like I have said in previous posts and in QuackCast shows, we will launch the new site when it is ready.

Finally got the chance to see Thor today! I've been super excited for it to come out for ages and ages, and then when it finally did I was too busy with exams and work to see it.
I loved it. I thought Thor and Loki were perfect, and kinda liked how they took the storylines right from the comics.
But to be honest, all they had to do for me to enjoy that movie was have the Thor guy take his shirt off. Oh boy. : P

Heh… I need to stop watching game videos of the Parodius video game series. I swear… When I'm done watching I'm left with two questions… What in the heck were the game producers/developers high on… and where can I get some? Both that game series and Dr. Ashen's reviews of cheap junk have given me more entertainment than my TV. And I find it odd that when it comes to watching TV/Movies my sis and I are different… I like watching the same show/movie over and over again for a while. My sis on the other hand can't stand watching the show more than once and as a result she's got quite a collection of movies…

My brother is an absolute jerk. He likes to pretend that he's better than me because he's the eldest, and still treats me like I'm 12. He was in a bad mood yesterday, as per usual, and took it out on me, as per usual. He was driving me to dad's place, and being in the bad mood that he was, he was speeding, swearing (yelling things like: “Fucking Cunt!” at other drivers), and nearly killed us twice by doing stupid things on the road. We get to dads, and he screams at me: “Hurry the fuck up!” and “Get your fucking stuff!”

Ugh, fuck I hate my brother.

Note to all older brothers there with younger siblings, treat us well or we'll tell mum, and then shit will hit the proverbial fan!

Saymoi, can we trade granparents? Seriously, your grandpa is the bomb! :D

Sat at dads and drew 4 and a half comic strips to colour for this week. I seriously regret starting the story arc that I did, because it has become very unfunny, very very fast. I've resorted to boob jokes and slap stick.

If I could I'd probably lecture him myself. I'm the eldest brother of my siblings, but I never act like that towards them. I bet you can't wait ‘til you can drive on your own. Maybe there’s something that's eating away at him, hence his attitude?

Now… off to find a crowbar…

You'd think there was a reason, but he's just an angry dick most of the time. Apparently he's always been like that, even as a kid. Mum likes to say he's “Depressed”, though he's not diagnosed or anything. Treats my other sister the same, but she's moved out so she doesn't have to deal with him. And yeah, I cannot WAIT until I can drive myself, then I can be all: “Screw you Tom, I'm going home!”

Wow what a crappy brother…actually what a crappy personality in general.

So I decided to put some nudity in my comic but…i'm so embarrassed drawing it. >_< Argh, I am so lame!

Sounds like how I've been the last few days, really assholishly cranky. Guessing it's because I'm ill, but damn I'm snappy. Feeling stressed and depressed at the same time but have no reason to be feeling like that. Spending as little time with the kids as possible, they don't deserve that. Normally I'm really placid but every little thing makes me explode right now.

I'm always embarrassed drawing naked people. Particularly when I don't have a reference and need to do it for a project and I'm like: "To search ‘life drawing model’ on google images, or not to search on google images…"

and holy shit, I missed my year anniversery of being a DrunkDucker. Aw bro, the sadness!

It's been officially about two months since I did any proper comics (too lazy to look up the actual dates and also worried it might be more than that, heh).
All because of a stupid plastic nib needed for the tablet pen. To think that such a little thing can ruin such a great start that I had this year.

Oh well, maybe the job search will finally pay off and I'll be able to bounce off and not only buy the nibs but also upgrade the pc.

FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU….they just made the requirements for pararescue harder. Looks like i have to increase my workouts….good thing i have a year. but if they give me another year, then they'll tighten
the requirements…FFFFFFUUUUUUUU. whatever:

2x25m Underwater Pass/Fail (3 min intervals) 10 Minutes
500 Meter swim <10’07” 30 Minutes
1.5 MILE Run <9’47” 10 Minutes
10 Pull-ups 1 Minute 3 Minutes
54 Sit-ups 2 Minutes 3 Minutes
52 Push-ups 2 Minutes 3 Minutes

@seventy2:
I saw your post here about becoming a PJ, & I just had to ask you if you were at Lackland, since I'm the designer for the base paper, the Talespinner, so I know all about the requirements from past articles.

Naw, i'm up at offutt, trying to crosstrain. They keep finding silly excuses not to let me go. I just found out about the new requirements on friday. (i think literally right before i made the post.)

I've been trying to get at this a couple years, and i've passed the previous versions, but everytime i'm really close they just up the standards. Just gotta work a little harder is all.

Yessssss. My script won the contest and Ayes is finally accepting voice tryouts for this year's radio play. I also provided cover art for the project. Now I'm going to try out for a part in the play so that my evil takeover will be complete.

Mwa ha ha ha!

I've had two jobs so far that have required an initial physical exam and continual physical checkups. The first was a sniper position in a gaurd tower at a local prison. We also had to pass bi-yearly psychological screening. That was a very high stress job and now that I'm out of it, I'd never go back.

The second job that's required physical fitness is “stay at home mom”. The kids I chase around all day, yeesh…

I need to have my brain examined one day. I keep thinking of the wierdest things at work. I guess those 8 hours I spend alone in the dark illuminated only by the streetlights is taking its toll on me too…

New superhero idea! Cute Man! His power? Being… Cute!!! So cute in fact that criminals who gaze upon him will simply drop what they're doing and run to the nearest policeman to have themselves arrested. And to combat those who are immune to cuteness he has a sidekick… Miss MANLY!!!

Maybe the little guy in this video has the right idea…

My cat has decided that rubbing her face on all my belongings is a productive use of her time, and that a productive use of my time is to follow her around and push her off shoes, jumpers and other various garments that are scattered on the floor of my bedroom.

You'd think that this would be a sign for me to clean up if I don't want my cat rubbing her face on all my things.


Fuck that, I'll just close the door so she can't get in, problem solved!

I've had two jobs so far that have required an initial physical exam and continual physical checkups. The first was a sniper position in a gaurd tower at a local prison. We also had to pass bi-yearly psychological screning. That was a very high stress job and now that I'm out of it, I'd never go back.

I want that job, although I wouldn't pass the psychological screening. Well I might but not through being sane but by lying my ass off so I could shoot inmates.

How's your aim? Do you shoot?

Last time I went out shooting (skeet shooting), I had a shotgun too large for me. Ended up with bruises all down my right side from arm pit to waist.

but I hit the targets.

— hey, hey Ally H - you with your world domination plans. There's still a democracy of votes to contend with,

But if we have as big a response for the voices as we did for the script submissions, you will be settling up with me as to who has which half! :)

D: I heard Ally was the only one to submit anything! Aw man, I wish I'd done something to help now, I'd been thinking about doing a script, but I had no idea what to do. That's it, I'm definately going to have a try for the voices… *reads script*

Is it weird that I want to try out for the Old guy…?

maybe not, but you are trespassing on the ayes portion of the Ally/ayes 50:50 split.

we'll leave it up to the voters. (and if it's only me that's a-votin', then you are Out o' Luck, Missy. maybe you should consider two characters)

Let's see… being the runt of the litter, I've yet to contribute into the grandchildren pool of my mother but my other three sisters have collectively made her a grandmother 8 times now but who's counting? (Me, apparently)

Oh, and the 9th one is one its way.

Oh, and one of those grandchildren has made her a great grandmother already.

…did I mention that I was the runt of the litter?

Ugh, fuck I hate my brother.

You know… a good way to get back at him is to turn him into an embarrassing character in your comic. :þ

You could probably find a professional live model course, somewhere in your area. Most art schools do that type of stuff.

…don't know how much they charge for that, though.

It appears that DD doesn't really want me to quote you. That, or there is an INCREDIBLE amount of info that it needs to be transferred from amscdn.btrll.com - and then from nabbr.pubnet - and let's not leave out flash.quantserve (makes one want to get holy and say JESUS CHRIST)

ANYWAY - perhaps I might be able to reciprocate and provide a tidbit of learning. Generally, the runts of the litter are the smallest of the litter. Are your sisters so much larger than you? Perhaps you wish to re-phrase?

With my siblings, even though I am the oldest, I am indeed the runt (being the smallest)

There's an age limit for those things usually. And being… under the age limit, I can't really go, unless I lie about my age. But then I seem weird because I'm lying about my age to get into life drawing classes.

Buy a book of life models. They don't require age limits:

I have several of these books. Very useful stuff!

Oooohhhhh thank you for the links Ally, I shall have a look. The Postman is going to have a heart attack when he sees my orders, I think…

Having bad day, today. I've got a massive project for geography to do, where I'm… completely failing. I only picked Geography as a filler subject so I had enough units for year 11, and I'm seriously regretting my choice. I'm stressing out because haven't done nearly enough work, and as I have a bad work ethic anyway, I don't know if its going to go anywhere… at least, anywhere with the marks needed to pass.

The friends that went off and got their belly butons piercings have discovered that I was right. One of them has become infected and the infection won't clear up for three weeks. I distinctly remember saying something along the lines of, “Don't play with it, belly button piercings get infected really easily if you play with them or don't clean them,” When they made the impulsive decision to get them. Answer? “Oh no, no it won't, I know what I'm doing, you're stupid, you just don't want us getting them, you don't know anything!” AND BEHOLD, whose got the infection now?

I'd like to say: “I told you so” But I'm not that cruel a person, they still think that I'm some uncool square because I don't approve of getting some shiny object shove through their belly button.

I'm feeling increeeeeedibly sick, I've got horrid, scabby pimples and shit all over my face whic I've done my best to hide under layers of foundation. I've got two mouth ulcers, which makes it painful when I talk and eat and such, and nothing makes me feel better then my grandmother declaring: “Oh your clothes are lovely, except your face, your face is terrible.”

Thanks Gran, love you too. :/
